OTTAWA and GWANGJU, South Korea — Video production solution provider Ross Video announced today the city of Gwangju in South Korea has chosen Ross equipment for the production workflow system in its recently constructed, dedicated esports arena.
The Ross solutions being used in the new esports venue include a Carbonite switcher, Mira replay server and Tria storage to manage the arena’s video content, as well as the Ultrix AV processing platform and Ross openGear to take care of all routing and signal processing, says the press release.
“Ross equipment offers very impressive levels of functionality at a very reasonable and accessible price point. The customer’s goal has always been to run visually impressive productions with only a modest number of people, and Ross is helping us to deliver the goal with technical support and operational training,” said Sungwon Shin, project manager at CJ Olivenetworks, the company behind the design and commissioning of the Gwangju esports arena, in the press release.
“The pandemic may be a bump in the road for esports, but there’s little doubt that its impressive popularity will continue to grow once live events return to our calendars,” added Mark Cooke, director of sales for Asia at Ross Video. “The challenges faced by esports content producers are often different to the problems faced by customers in more traditional broadcast or live event environments.”
